About Me

When I turned 29, I had finished my degree in Music in Liverpool and I decided to set out to see the world with a guitar on my back, a hundred euroes in my pocket and a head full of Kerouac, Dylan and Guthrie. It was the best decision I ever made! 8 years later and I have had so many wonderful and challenging experiences. Before I left to go travelling, I had never eaten a salad or a pasta, but now I try almost anything!

For 4 of those years, I was travelling with my girlfriend who was a great violinist and we made a great duo, hitch-hiking and busking around the cities and market towns and making some nice albums together. For the last 2 years I have been in Berlin on my own and really love it here. It has made me a lot stronger in many ways, musical, artistic and personal. But now I feel it is time for a new adventure and I have my heart set on Denmark!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of the best friends I have in my life I met through CS, it's a great way of meeting people and seeing if you get on. Sometimes you just spend a great few days with them, sometimes they become very close friends. It's just a great platform that makes it easier for travelers and hosts to share experiences and cultures, and for that I love it!

Interests

Music is my first love, and I will always go where the music and adventure is. I also draw a lot, strange abstract maze like art that people seem to like. I love to make fires and be outdoors. I love to act like a kid around kids and play silly games. I love to make a truly perfect cup of coffee, I love to smile and laugh as much as I can. I love to write my blog. My interests are anything creative, musical and adventurous.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Tom Waits, George Orwell, John Lennon, Bowie, Neil Young, Nick Drake, Seal Cub Clubbing Club, Dylan. I appreciate all music really...I think it's like food, sometimes you might not like the taste, but it still has nutritional values in listening to it. I'm pretty open minded and optimistic with most music and books and films and stuff. Love Monty Python, South Park, Father Ted, Partridge, Saxondale.
